  • A Fate Worse Than Drowning

    One deal with the devil makes a fool. Two? A villain…

     

    A year ago, Elle made a deal with the devil to save her sister. Now, they live on a desolate spit of land beyond Halifax harbor. Elle, as lighthouse keeper, steers unsuspecting sailors to their destruction; those are the terms of her bargain. Liney need never know the cost. Her safety is worth every drop of blood.

     

    But a sinner’s pact is not so simple. When the devil returns, demanding more – more shipwrecks, no survivors – Elle knows what she must do to keep Liney safe…

     

    Another ship. Another crew killed in the devil’s name.

     

    Then a woman washes ashore. Is she a soul to be sacrificed, or part of a darker design? As Liney and the stranger grow closer, Elle faces an impossible choice: kill, and break Liney’s heart, or forfeit her own soul.

     

    Danger arises from all sides: the merciless sea, ruthless men on the mainland, and the infernal bargain itself…

     

    Souls and sisterhood, fate and fire – what must be sacrificed for the devil to get his due?
